some of what she said about the libya attack was wrong but that the information came directly from the cia. the same is true of condoleezza rice, who passed on incorrect cia information on weapons of mass destruction in iraq but was still overwhelmingly confirmed as secretary of state. susan rice is closer to the president than anybody in his cabinet and has been an overachiever for most of her life, high school valedictorian, basketball star, rhodes scholar rising star in the clinton administration, but she also has a reputation for blunt talk. >> by all accounts she is talented, capable and extremely abrasive. >> reporter: in the 2008 campaign, she ridiculed hillary clinton's foreign policy experience and called john mccain "reckless and confused." if the president does nominate her, those who know her say she is more than up for the fight. although this would be a bruising battle, diane, i can tell you she would almost certainly have the votes to be confirmed. >> all right. jon karl reporting tonight. thank you, jon. >>> now we turn to the other battle brewing tonight, the clock is stil

broadwell has been laying low since news of her affair with former cia director david petraeus. her brother has been the most vocal of her support. not of her behavior but her as a person. another op-ed over the weekend in the "baltimore sun" also not defending her behavior but letting people know some of the betrayals of her just don't match up with the woman who he calls a friend. broadwell's brother also told us earlier today that it's been hard for her family to see the picture that's being painted of her and that her real focus is her family, her husband and her boys and trying to restore the trust that she had with her husband and trying to protect her children from the publicity." now, we haven't heard much from her publicly, wolf. but those close to her have described her as being absolutely ashamed, embarrassed and trying to recover from this. >> she hasn't spoken publicly about all of this. why the public push by her friends? >> her friends say she's very much concerned about the ongoing fbi investigation into what classified materials she had, how she treated them and

intelligence that she had received that's consistent with the information that she was given by the cia? >> not only is it illogical, it is counterproductive because they're putting the president in a position of saying he's going to nominate her if he wasn't before because now he's not going to look like he's caving in or backing down. so they're going to achieve the exact opposite of what they're purporting to want. >> absolutely astonishing. goldie, conservatives, as we know, are attacking ambassador rice for admitting that the initial intelligence was wrong in one respect, that there was no process in benghazi, but she's admitted that the intelligence has evolved. so why is that so hard for them to accept? or is it because this is a proxy war against the president and they'll use anyone they can find? >> you know, it is a proxy war, but i have got to tell you that john mccain went live and said that if susan rice came to him and said she was wrong about that assertion, then he would be satisfied. well, in fact, she did say that today. she said it in a private meeting with him, with
